Traditional Food from Scotland: The Edinburgh Book of Plain Cookery Recipes (Hippocrene International Cookbook Series)

Rating:
Summary: OK, except for...
Review: Too many of the units of measure are in oz. It would be better if they were converted to cups, tbsp, tsp, etc. It is a pain in the posterior region to have to weigh ingredients, not to mention that buying a digital scale these days gets you on the... It also needs a substitute for "suet" (which is a mixture of bird seed and beef fat where I'm from). Other than that, I think it is a good companion book for other Scottish cook books.

Summary: Don't waste your time!
Review: What a horrible little book! Contrary to popular belief, Scottish cuisine has much to offer, despite the reputation of traditional Scots' fare like the infamous haggis. If you are looking to prepare such food at home, however, this is not the book for you. A cheap, hurriedly put together mish-mash of poorly described dishes, many of which hardly qualify as recipes at all. Gives "Neeps and Tatties" a bad name!
